Get Real with Your Mobile Testing Strategy

Basic functional testing and mobile simulators/emulators can only take you so far. If you’re serious about mobile testing you eventually, have to get on the road testing with REAL DEVICES, under REAL CONDITIONS and measuring REAL RESPONSES.

Today we live in a mobile-first world with discriminating users who engage with applications many times using less-than-ideal devices and conditions. Ultimately, ease of use, response time and successful completion of a request are how a user judges any app. But how do you successfully test in a world with so many unknowns?

Learn how you can deliver better mobile experiences by:
•Eliminating the complexity of testing on real devices
•Testing using the same conditions your users will experience the application
•Moving beyond functional testing by also looking at the request and response times of supporting systems

What's keeping you from testing continuously within your sprints? Learn how to find, reserve and use the right test data to help you test at the speed of agile and allow your teams to lead rather than follow each sprint.

During this webinar you will:
• Learn the biggest reason you struggle to find test data
• Learn 3 ways you can deliver test data more quickly to your testing teams
• Learn how CA TDM can help reduce the time and expense to deliver fresh test data

To compete successfully in today’s economy, companies from all industries require the ability to deliver software faster, with higher quality, and reduced risk and costs. This is only possible with a modern software factory that can deliver quality software continuously. Yet for most enterprises, testing has not kept pace with modern development methodologies. A new approach to software testing is required: Continuous Testing.

In the first session in a series, join product management leadership to gain in-depth insights on how by shifting testing left, and automating all aspects of test case generation and execution, continuous testing, it enables you to deliver quality software faster than ever.

As your organization adopts test-driven, agile development methods, you’ll want to automate testing even more so you’re not lagging behind the development sprint.

Join this web seminar to learn how to use in-sprint test automation related practices around requirements engineering, test design automation and test case optimization to help you test at the speed of agile – thus, allowing you to:

- Shift testing all the way to the left—to your business requirements design phase
- Automatically generate test automation scripts for both open source and commercial frameworks
- Achieve maximum coverage with the smallest set of test cases, directly from clearly modeled requirements

While modern DevOps practices have become the norm in many organizations, mid-size and large enterprises are still largely behind in their automation journey. They have the management mandate and some resources but are burdened by slow-moving legacy processes and applications. At their disposal, DevOps teams have a plethora of tools that seem to pull them in multiple directions at once.

How do you find the right path to the DevOps journey?

In this session you can expect to learn about:

· The detours organizations typically encounter as they deploy DevOps, and sometimes get lost along the way.
· A direct route to achieving DevOps at scale for an entire organization using Environments as a Service
· How to connect an end to end solution to Manage dozens of application environments effectively.

You’re all too familiar with data privacy laws touching every aspect of your business. You can’t be too careful with customer data and with each passing law, the stakes get even higher. Join us for this webcast to learn how test data management practices can not only survive but thrive with all the new data privacy laws enacted in the past year. You’ll learn best practices and experience some of the tools available to help you demonstrate compliance.

Test Data Management is the utilization of a platform of tools by which test data is identified, masked, generated and delivered to testers and testing teams.

Many solution providers have their point of view on how to enable continuous delivery, unfortunately, most are laser focused on just one part of the overall process. CA Technologies, the leader in Application Release Orchestration for the last 2 years according to Gartner has the right approach, and it’s not just on streamlining one part of the process; it's about orchestrating everything from a single click, delivering true enterprise agility while allowing your organization to be as agile as they want to be and ultimately enabling your development, release and operations teams to spend less time in scripting, manual tasks, dealing with failed deployments and more time focused on delivering more software innovations to market more quickly and with higher quality and driving value back to business.

This webinar will explore CA Technologies – Continuous Delivery solution from the perspective of those persons involved and responsible for getting new software capabilities out to market faster, including development teams, release teams and operations.

Finally, we'll discuss how some or our most successful customers solved their unique continuous delivery problems and implemented an automated, scalable and auditable delivery process that enables 20% YoY Business Growth.

Most enterprises today are adopting a cloud first strategy or undergoing some level of cloud transformation. And cloud adoption, whether public, private or hybrid, inevitably changes the game for software development and delivery, encompassing modern application architectures, agile development practices and new deployment models. The downside is that your apps can become too unwieldy to release and your testing can’t scale.

Come see how CA Continuous Delivery Director SaaS can help you meet and manage these challenges. CA Continuous Delivery Director is an enterprise-class planning and pipeline management solution built to enable continuous testing and easy application release to any cloud or hybrid environment. You’ll learn how to exploit the advantages of shifting cloud with a fully orchestrated DevOps toolchain. And the payoff is clear. A recent study by Freeform Dynamics showed that when you combine cloud and DevOps, teams can experience an 81 percent improvement in overall software delivery performance.

Performance testing is more relevant than ever. It’s even more prominent in the software development life cycle than in the past. What’s changed is that development and testing teams now can test component level performance earlier than ever with tools such as Service Virtualization.

It’s now easier to identify and fix performance-related issues as they are being worked much earlier than before, when performance testing was done during a formal performance testing cycle in the stage environment after multiple code builds have hidden those issues deeper across several application layers.

This session will cover the basics of how to shift performance testing left so that development and testing teams can test component level performance using CA Service Virtualization and CA BlazeMeter.

Mainframe systems form the IT backbone for many organizations, providing back-end transaction processing, databases and reporting functionality. Although they are often thought of as legacy systems, this misleading characterization discounts the fact that these systems often hold critical business logic and still receive heavy investment.

Organizations that develop and test applications in mainframe environments have struggled to keep up with users’ increasing demands for innovative, new functionality. For one, mainframe development can require decades’ worth of legacy expertise, which is in danger of disappearing as a generation of workers approach retirement. In addition, modern, client-facing applications driven by the mainframe are being accessed by growing numbers of users via smartphones, tablets and other devices – stressing mainframes in unforeseen ways.

Because of these factors, new challenges have arisen within mainframe development and test operations, such as unavailable systems, inability to accurately model performance and complex test data requirements. However, by employing service virtualization to model the core business logic in mainframe platforms and their integrations with other in-house and third-party systems, teams can free themselves of these constraints, leading to faster build and test cycles, higher quality applications and lower costs. Essentially bring more agile and continuous testing practices to mainframe environments.

If you’re going Agile, you’re no doubt moving to faster sprints! Test data takes center stage as companies grapple with faster testing processes and new compliance initiatives such as GDPR. Two-week sprints require teams to test faster and testing faster means having test data delivered at any stage of development.

Join us for this webcast to learn how your teams can deliver the GDPR compliant data at the right time to every team that needs it. We will review traditional testing techniques and their strengths and weaknesses and then explore the world of synthetic data creation and virtual test data delivery to gain a better understanding of these trends. We will wrap things up by giving a game plan for GDPR compliance in the testing space.

One hour with us could save you days or weeks of frustration as you get ready for 2018.

New approaches like DevOps or the adoption of a Digital Transformation strategy are meant to make life easier and simpler to creating quality applications faster with better quality and at lower costs, but do they? Maybe. They’ll help put structure in place for team collaboration or deliver an experience your customers won’t forget, but development teams still face the constraints of development through deployment.
